- Scientists are discovering that orcas, among the most social and intelligent of marine animals, have unique family structures and behaviors, passed from one generation to the next. National Geographic photographer Brian Skerry traveled the globe to document orca pods-where he found that diving with these special creatures can lead to strange and wonderful situations.

Fun Fact 🐋 Orcas live in groups with their own distinctive cultures and dialects. Tell us something you learned from this video 👇
Orcas are adorable. They actually have the vocal cords to speak human languages. They are appex predators and amazing sea animals ❤️
The Humpback doco with the Freediver Team (2019?) was a terrific look at SCUBA-FREE interactions with whales.
They are so generous, they share food with us human
I learnt this video never showed us anything 😤
they're quite intelligent and they're part of The Dolphin Family which I honestly did not know prior to this I knew they were smart but not that smart
Always amazes me that these people interacting with Orcas in the wild never get attacked. Not saying they're mindless killing machines (which they're clearly not) but I guess it just surprises me that an intelligent Apex predator has never been curious to see what we taste like haha. One of my favorite animals, they just fascinate me.
I, too, always wondered how so many humans never get attacked when in the water with Orcas! I think not only are these divers not going to get attacked by the Orcas, but they will be protected from predators like sharks, as the sharks will stay far far away from the Orcas!!! :-) :-) :-)
Do orcas have a sense of smell? Maybe we smell unappealing to them? 😂 I don't know but there has to be a reason. They probably somehow know they wouldn't like the taste of us.
Long memories and traditions, Orcas have witnessed us do crazy stuff in the ocean like whaling or blowing each other up in sea battles.
The person who is reading this comment , i wish you great success , health, love and happiness !
Same to you
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thanks so much and the same to you and more
Same to you, I was feeling a bit low but reading your comment made my day, thank you
Thank you and dolfins a
Have their sanifcaences also.
Amazing podcast. To the people complaining about the lack of visuals: there are no visuals! You want corresponding footage for everyone one of these stories?? Use your imagination! It's a free podcast. Enjoy it. It doesn't need visuals at all. There's plenty of Orca footage online.
I agree. I was listening as I was taking care of some laundry and as he was telling the stories I just imagined everything with pictures in my head. The best way to do it.
I love the the animals so much
Whenever i sits in front of TV
Channel i watches are animal planet,discovery,National geographic firstly.
The podcast is very interesting because it tells us what orcas are like, what their secret culture is like, and some similarities they have with humans. Some people believe that they are evil and attack but in reality they just play and are friendly, they are considered very intelligent animals developing new echolocation hunting techniques. For example, when they shared a meal with Brian Skerry.
this episode is _incredible._ i've revisited it a few times now; the storytelling, the audio design, the pacing and topic--it's all amazing. thank you for this.
Healing narration even with no visuals 👍 amazing
What did you learn about Orcas from this video?
Cadillac can be found underwater (and no body in the trunk yay) 😂😂
Cadillac was jk, orcas are really intelligent and very gentle than I imagined👌
This video is very interesting, because it allows us to learn about the secret culture of orcas and certain similarities they have with humans. For example, the orcas shared a meal with Brian Skerry; When comparing killer whales with human beings, it can be said that they have certain similarities and are considered highly intelligent animals that have even developed new hunting strategies.
Basically Orcas are awesome
We agree 💯%
Before this video, I liked orcas, but I thought they were really aggressive and attacked often. But now I know, they are just playful and loving!
Wow such a smooth narration. Love your videos national geographic ❤️
Thank you for watching, Sofia.
I listened over and over on podcast
Thank you for this fascinated storytelling ❤️
Never let these wonderful whales be caged again let them free in the wild forever! Rip dawn
@Sine Lizard orcas, dolphins, whales let them free 😀
I agree, but if we let caged animals that where captured young or born in captivity, they won’t make it. Don’t get me wrong it’s horrible to keep them captive
@@maxrobertson2834 That''s why there is the Whale Sanctuary in the making now!
Visuals with this narration would be awesome
The dude is super descriptive. You're supposed to use your imagination.
They're giving us the privilege of activating a part of our brain less accessed these days by us visualizing the story kinda like our grandparents did with the radio as children, and how some still do by book. Thank you for this great story NatGeooooo
The people who stayed to watch is amazing
I wish we had video on it but great talk
National Geographic 🌟🌟🌟🌟✌🏼👏🏼📸🎥🐳🐋🦈🦭I wished I had saved my old National Geo Magazines. “Cheese Burger 🍔 “😂 “Stand-offish fish”🤣 You were trespassing 🤓
I've learned a lot about Orcas behavior. The most social and intelligent marine animals.
🐬🐬🐬❤️❤️
I love animal so much whenever I site in front of my TV channel is animal Planet and national Geographic and favorite animal are blue whale and shark, Lion etc🦁🦁🐬🦈
Never disappointed with Singapore .
Wowwww is just amazing ❤️❤️
The podcast es very interestin because it gives information about orcas, it also makes us think about the things we are doing and what harms these animals and the cultures we have . also, the orcas are not bad and they do not attack what they do is play with people since they are friendly
This podcas is very useful since it informs us about the behavior of the whales and tells us how we should act in the presence of one, the whales are very intelligent since when a human is in danger they protect him and push him to the surface
Brian Your and awesome guy and keep working with national geogrphic and protecting and documenting nature.
I had to laugh at the naration at the begining " killer whales also known as Orca". They are Orca ( Orcinus Orca ) with an aka/nickname of killer whales.
A featured experience of a diver going deep underwater and discovering orcas.
Orca talk starts around 10:30
Welcome to National Geographic's followers

I love orcas because they are mammals and not fish 🚑🚑🚑🚑🚑🚑🚑🚑🚑🚑🚑🚑
I wish you would have shown live orcas instead of just one picture of them.
You should have shown some footage
@@cryptolion8180 whoops lol
👍👍👍
The world must follow Western modern culture
Protect Orcas!!!!!
Yes! My family!
Anyone know the song that starts around 3:00?
Oh so there is no video.. cool picture tho :D
Dolfins have their sanifcaences story as well .
Imagine knowing where there are hydrothermal vents where whales spawn from the mantle?
Do anyone remember the name of that show which aired on discovery or nat geo channel which showed night hunting of animals. I can't remember its name. That was something like "walking dead" or something. Please help me remember 😭
where can I have the script please TvT
So there are animals who have IQ close to humans.
